ultrasound machines
Medical imaging devices
Ultrasound machines are medical imaging devices that use high-frequency sound waves to create pictures of structures inside the body.
They're most familiar from prenatal care, where they produce images of developing fetuses: The ultrasound machine showed the baby's heartbeat.
Unlike X-rays, ultrasound involves no radiation, making it safe for repeated use.
The technology also guides biopsies, examines organs, and assesses blood flow.
